IMPROVEMENT IN SNAP-HOOKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,056, dated May 11, 1875; application filed April 25, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that JOHN EBERLE, lately dcceased, of New York city and State, invented a Snap-Hook, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away; Fig. 2, a plan View.

A represents a snap-hook, provided with a reverse rear hook, E, bifurcated to allow the tongue of buckle to be easily inserted or removed, and shouldered at the rear to prevent the buckle from coming out by a slackening of the strap.

This snap is thus adapted to any kind of buckle, is applicable without punch or rivet, and may be readily used by an unskilled person.

What I claim is-- A snap-hook, having reverse, bifurcated, and rear-shouldered hook E, as and for the purpose described.
